Early spring planning on trying to explore Cortez area. Does anyone know of any easy to get to, centralized boondocking or dry camping spots. Thanks

Not boondocking but we'll often dry camp at McPhee Reservoir. Rarely full. But they did just raise the rates to $24. (1/2 price with the senior pass) Does have flush toilets which makes DW happy. A few sites have electric, nice if you need a/c in the middle of the summer. A few miles from the Canyon of the Ancients Visitors Center and centrally located between Mesa Verde and the main part of Canyon of the Ancients. We've also visited Hovenweep NM in Utah as a day trip from McPhee CG.

We are also considering a trip there as my wife's sister lives in Cortez. Following.
